During the American Revolution, the Marquis de Lafayette of France volunteered to fight in the Continental Army. In partnership with The American Friends of Lafayette, and to complement the Tennessee State Museum’s temporary display of artifacts related to the Marquis’s visit to Nashville, we are proud to welcome the Marquis back to Nashville once more on Sunday, May 4. From 2-4 p.m., with brief lectures at 2:30 and 3:30, renowned Lafayette interpreter Charles Wissinger will be in our gallery to visit with guests, discuss the artifacts in the Museum’s collection, and answer questions about both his role in the American Revolution and his return visit to the United States in 1824-25.
